Procedure

  1. Determine what files are needed to install the plug-in. See Determining Required Plug-in Files for details.
  2. Create a grid-library.xml file. See Create the grid-library.xml File for details.
  3. Create a plugin.properties file. See Create the plugin.properties file for details.
  4. Create a plug-in distribution archive of the files from steps 1-3. See Archiving the Plug-in Distribution Files for details.
  5. Copy the plug-in distribution .zip file to the TIBCO Silver Fabric Broker. See Copying the Plug-in Distribution compressed file to TIBCO Silver Fabric Broker
